Anyone ditch their Glock 26 for a p 365?

[Murfpcola]

I picked up a 365 and after handling it a bit I can’t think of a reason I would carry my 26 anymore. It would never take the place of my Glock 19 though for when I can carry a decent size pistol. I bought my 26 right so I will not lose money on it. Thinking of trading it off if something that catches my eye comes along. FWIW I have not shot the 365 yet though. Curious to see others input

I won't ever ditch my G26 or G27. They're (Glock) just proven to work in the most adverse conditions, plus it'll hold 32 rounds.

It would take a lot for me to get rid of my G27, too much time in (range, drill, carry time, etc.) and investment around the G27 form factor. I do have to say that I have shot the P365 and it is a nice slimmer weapon, but I gotta stay true to the fat ugly G27 that has never failed me when I needed her.

Well, if you already have a G19 or 17: you probably have extra/extended mags for the G26. That 365 15 round mag is crazy spendy @ $41(+-).
If you carry it as a BUG: mag commonality is a major advantage. The 365 has a good rep and following, I'm not knocking it; just saying the 365 is not an optimal equivalent. IMHO, YMMV.

You definitely need to put some rounds through the 365. Might feel a little snappier due to the thinner grip and design differences.

Keep the G26 for what it can bring "back to the table" if needed. For all the popular "flavor of the week" newer releases, I watch till I start seeing them pop up on the used market. Sum no luv long time! Lol

Like many here I do not “need” anything. I have a 19, 17, 22, 26 and 34. I do like that it can use the bigger mags that are cheap and sold everywhere. I don’t feel much difference carrying the 26 over the 19. If the 365 works out I can see myself trading the 26 off for some flavor of the week that catches my eye.

I'm invested too much into Glocks....plus the Sig mags are expensive, way moreso than Glocks. The Glock platform has been doing it for what, thirty years now? I'll stick with Glock.

I am loving my Springfield Hellcat. I own a G26, G17, and more glocks. But man this Hellcat is 11+1 and 13+1 in a smaller size than my Shield.

Not gonna take my 26 away, I carry 15 rds and have a guide rod laser in it

I have enjoyed the comments. I bought the 365 to pocket carry. I work in construction and with climbing ladders, reaching, bending over, rolling on the ground etc I can’t carry IWB unless it is pretty cold and wearing an outer garment all day. Not many days like that around here. So the 365 is replacing a Bodyguard and I have my Glock 19 for IWB. I have not had the 26 very long and am not attached to it but may keep it around a while.

I am looking at the SA Hellcat OSP model myself currently.

Love mine so far. I picked up the OSP version as well.

All of a sudden, a wave of 26's on here and armslist. Did I miss a memo? Is the glock 9 not cool now?

My youngest son found one in stock and pushed the button...I am still mulling it over! No rush, as I have plenty of CCW options now.

EDIT: Just noticed, those look like SIG V-Crown. My go to load for smaller 9s!

Just reinforces gun owners are a fickled bunch or the grass is always greener..... Lol

 

[Dave308]

I have both and still prefer to carry the 26. The 365 will be in the safe as back up.

My Glocks are in the drawer and carrying the 365

 

[Fanner50]

I have a 19 and a 26, and they will Never be sold. Having said that I am in love with my new 365. In a Vedder LiteTuck it just disappears. A Vedder pocket holster is on the way. Yes, mags are expensive, but you only need a few.

Try them 15 rounders with an Xgrip. I love mine. Way better than any base plate mag extension. And I can swap the Xgrip to a 30 rounder in 2 seconds

I have a body guard and pocket carrying a 365 is a huge difference. I did it once. It's just really bulky. Ruger lc9s works in a pocket for me but considerable weight over the lil 380. Iwb is tough for me as well

 

[RHINOWSO]

Yeah I love how everyone says they 'easily' pocket carry a 10+ round 9MM pistol - maybe at home but the weight alone is a bitch unless you are Andre the Giant, slapping against your leg.

Of course it sounds cool, like the G26 pocket carriers we all laugh at... because none of them really do...
